Your egg salad recipe might need some updating. TikToker Maxine Sharf (@maxiskitchen) has the best way to help you reinvent your egg salad. Instead of plain chopped hard-boiled eggs, Maxine’s recipe calls for the use of the gorgeous jammy egg.

Compared to the typical egg salad, her elevated version is moister and has an eggier flavor. The silky smoothness of the yolk acts almost as a sauce, which erases the need for any mayonnaise. It’s perfect for those who aren’t a fan of mayo.

“I’m calling this a modern egg salad because you cook the eggs until jammy, which really allows the richness of the yolk to shine,” began Maxine.

Here’s how to cook flawless jammy eggs for your new and improved egg salad!

Ingredients:

-Six eggs

-Three tablespoons of shallots

-Two tablespoons of pickles

-Two tablespoons of dill, minced

-One teaspoon of olive oil

-Salt and pepper

-Toast

Directions:

First, bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, then carefully lower your eggs in with a slotted spoon. Don’t just drop them into the pot because they crack easily!

Boil the eggs for seven minutes. Afterward, transfer them to an ice bath for at least two minutes to prevent them from overcooking. Next, remove the eggshells by cracking the eggs and peeling them gently into small pieces. Then, chop the eggs into small chunks and mix them with diced shallots, pickles, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

“This had such a good flavor pop, and I’m telling you, this is an elevated take on egg salad,” said Maxine.

Serve the eggs on toast with additional dill and a pinch of salt on top! The recipe makes two servings and takes a total of twenty minutes for both prep and cook time.
